Thread Tap Art-Pol M8 x 1.00 mm — single piece, metric hand/ machine tap

Art-Pol thread tap M8 x 1.00 mm (single piece) is a metric hand/machine tap engineered for cutting or restoring M8 internal threads with a 1.00 mm pitch. The tool is suitable for use in general metalworking, maintenance and repair tasks, as well as in fabrication environments where a precise M8 fine thread is required. It is supplied as a single tap intended for either manual tapping with a tap wrench or use in tapping machines that accept standard metric taps.

Advantages

The Art-Pol M8 x 1.00 mm tap provides accurate thread form and consistent pitch, allowing reliable engagement with M8 fine-thread fasteners. Its metric design ensures compatibility with industry-standard M8 components. Supplied as a single piece, it is convenient for replacement or custom tooling setups and can be used for both hand and machine tapping, offering versatility across workshop and production applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting new M8 x 1.00 mm internal threads in metal components
• Restoring worn or damaged M8 internal threads
• Hand tapping with a tap wrench
• Use in tapping heads or CNC tapping machines that accept metric taps
• Maintenance, repair, and fabrication tasks in workshops and industrial settings

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8
• Pitch: 1.00 mm (fine thread)
• Type: metric hand/machine tap
• Packaging: single piece
• Application material: suitable for common metals used in general engineering (use appropriate cutting fluids and speeds for specific alloys)

How to use

Select an appropriate drill size for the M8 x 1.00 mm tap pilot hole, clamp the workpiece securely, and align the tap square to the hole axis. For hand tapping, fit the tap into a suitable tap wrench and apply steady, even pressure while turning, using intermittent reverse turns to break chips. When using a tapping machine, ensure the tap is properly mounted and set the correct feed and speed according to the material and machine specifications. Use suitable cutting fluid and adjust speed/feed to match the workpiece material to prolong tool life and improve thread quality.

Usage recommendations

To achieve consistent results, pre-drill the correct pilot hole, use appropriate cutting lubricant for the material, and avoid excessive feed or speed. Inspect the tapped threads after cutting and clean chips from the hole to prevent tool breakage. Replace the tap when wear or damage becomes apparent to maintain thread accuracy.
